Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Keymar, MD.

Addiction rehabilitation centers which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction rehabilitation centers which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at addiction treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
